The Sweet Seven

Chapter 1

Oh, just don't report that I kicked someone. Just keep it as secret. Okay Bros?" I raised my little finger at the same time to seal the secret of the three of us. The twins also raised their fingers.

"Our secret Sis.". Hunter whispered. Winter just laughed.

The door of my room opened. Daddy. He was smiling but he seemed to know something.

"Twins can you leave us alone. Me and your sister will be going to have a long conversation...so please..." the twins stood up and closed the door of my room.

Dad sat on the small couch in my room. "Well. Someone called my office and said you kicked someone? Is that true?"

I nodded.

Daddy stood up again. "Okay. I called your Dad so that he can take care of what happened to you."

Then Daddy stepped towards the door to go out. It stopped when I called.

"Are you not mad at me?" I asked nervously.

Daddy smiled. "I know you did that for a reason. You're my kid that's why I know you better than the others. Okay. Just help your Mommy cook. Love you Son."

"Love you too. Daddy." then he left my room. I'm lucky because my Daddy and my Papa are kind.

I arranged my things first and then I went downstairs to help Mommy. Hunter prepared the table while Winter washed the dishes after we ate. Mommy doesn't want to have a maid because she has nothing to do all day, so we help with every task in the house.

We were all seated at the table when Dad spoke. "Tomorrow I will go to your school and the Principal will talk to me about what happened"

"Dad. I'm sorry." my groin But it shook its head.

"No need to say it again Seven. Don't be afraid. Daddy is a lawyer, right. Cheer up. That's right for them to grow up."

"Peter!" Mommy scolded Daddy.

"Mommy got angry...". Daddy said making the twins laugh.

"Eat children. Those who are caught are not allowed to watch T.V after eating."

we just laughed.

That's a great man, Marco! I'm going to hit him again!

Daddy drove us to Hamilton International School. Me and the twins are quiet. Dad fainted as we walked to the Principals Office. The Secretary greeted us then let us enter the Principal's Office. Marco is there with his Daddy and his Mommy.

I watched Marco and I was happy with the outcome of what I did because his muzzle really exploded. Because her face is thick, she imitates me from the girls she knows. I laughed so Hunter and Winter laughed too. Marco frowned at me. I care so much!

"Ummm kids. Stop laughing okay.". Daddy scolded. Then he sat in the chair in front of our Principal's desk.

"Mr. Daez. We called you because this is your son, Seven, who committed a sin and as the Principal, it is only right that I punish him."

"Wait. Miss or Mrs. Principal.". Dad raised his right hand. "You're going to punish my Daughter without any Trial? Do you know that we also have a law against Sexual Harassment?". Dad started. Marco, my Daddy is a good lawyer!

"Look my Daughter admitted that she punches her Schoolmates. Why? Because this young man here sitting in front of me is forcing my Daughter to kiss him. Am I right young man?"

Marco couldn't speak. Daddy continued. "Hunter give me the phone." Hunter gave me his cell phone and Dad started playing what my brother had recorded. I can see how he blocked me with his teammates. And why I punched him. They were all speechless except Daddy.

"So. If you punish my son because he only defended himself against this giant man. Well let's all meet in court. By the way Principal I am Attorney Peter Daez." then Dad turned his back.

"Let's go kids." he asked us out of that Office.

I was jumping when we left. "You're great Daddy!"

Daddy just laughed. "Okay, go to your classrooms." Dad kissed us one by one on the forehead. Then he went to the parking lot.

"O Sige na Kambal go to your room we're gonna be late." we run his own way.

I even passed Andro's Classroom. I just waved at him when he called me. Andro is in Asa Junior High like Hunter and Winter while Rei is in Grade Seven and Lorie is in Grade Six. We both study here in Hamilton.

At recess, we met at the cafeteria. We all shared a party at the same table. We were laughing when I saw Marco enter the Cafeteria.

I bowed slightly. "See that guy? That's bad, so don't go near him."

"Yes sister!". everyone has the same answer.

That's what you thought. Do it again so I can punch you again. In dinamirami Because you can trip me up or else you're going to blow your nose. Good for you!

Marco also glanced at me. I laughed at him at the same time. Wow, his bragging Face is broken!

"Sister. First we have class because we are." I nodded. Hunter, Winter and Andro stood together. Well, even though they're still in Junior High, they've really gotten the attention of those in Senior High. Their fathers are all handsome. Rei is the same. And the only woman who stands out besides me is none other than Lorie, Andro's First love. I even preceded them! Lorie is only twelve, but she and Andro are already there and they're legal! How sweet!

"Lorie...aren't you going back to your classroom yet?" Rei asked.

"Alright. I'll go with you, Brother. Andro is busy so he can't take me to my Classroom."

Rei laughed. "Oh, it's like you're always new to Brother Andro. It's just busy but dear! Come on, I'll bring you your bag." then it turned to me.

"Lorie and I are first." then they left together. They are so sweet and they don't develop with each other. After all, Lorie really loves Andro e. Hmmm, could it be Rei? Can he crush Lorie? That seems to be complicated.

"Wow. You seem to be thinking deeply." I was surprised and looked at what Rubioz, one of Marco's teammates, said, but he was not involved in their antics. Rubioz was silent.

I pointed to myself while looking behind me to see if it was really me. I heard him laugh then I looked at him again. And I hesitate to smile at him. We're not close, so I'm surprised that he came to me and then he's in the College Department while I'm in the Senior High Department.

"It's you. Seven...right?"

I nodded. "Ah. Yes, that's right. And you're the Rubioz of the Basketball Team, that's right."

"Right. Can we sit?"

"Sure. There's no charge for that." it laughed again so I laughed too. I lost my laughter when a chair fell.

Everyone in the cafeteria turned to the source of that noise. Oh It's just Marco. It's just lack of attention or maybe he didn't take his Vitamins so the screw in the brain loosened again.

He stared at me so I stared back. Then he turned his gaze to Rubioz... he took the Bag and then left. Wow what is that? Paepek factor. Or maybe he wants a umbag to cut his nose! You know who is Bully!

"We have practice later. I just thought you might want to watch?" Rubioz is really cute.

"I will watch? Oh, I have no interest in such things. Besides, I don't know any Varsity Players."

It laughed. "What do you think of me? It's okay to cheer me on. Because my other teammates bring their girlfriends."

I stared at him with pain. "Or don't bring your girlfriend with you. It's not the one you offered to, okay. Excuse me, I still have class."

I turned around when I heard him speak again. "I don't have a girlfriend that's why I invite you to come watch our practice. If that's okay."

I faced him. I gave him my plastic smile. "I'll think about it. After all, it's still tomorrow afternoon, right?"

"Ok. About 2:30pm. Don't you go home at 1:00pm.". Rubioz asked me.

"You know. Don't say you're a stalker, you'll imitate that Marco!" while my hand was still on his face.

He just laughed. "Because I'm handsome, am I a stalker? No. I like your attitude. You're different from our schoolmates, so I offered you to come with me later. That's it."

I just grinned and turned away. I even passed Marco's teammates who were still sitting and eating. They laughed at me so I kicked the leg of their table and spilled all their food.

"Oooooppppssss! Sorry. Next time, don't follow me! You fools! When do you think I'm going to back you up! Hmp!" and I walked tall. I even heard what Rubioz said 'nice one. Seven!'

Our school service is in the parking lot. I talked to the Driver that I will not go along. After all, I said goodbye to Daddy as well as Mommy and they both agreed and so did Papa. Papa is still teasing me that next time I should just slap him because he says his Hospital will lose money if he treats all for free. I got Papa.

"Aren't you coming with us Sister?" Winter asked with a smile.

"No, because I'm going to watch the practice game of the Basketball Team. Why?"

"Ah. Hunter and I had no idea that you already had a boyfriend!"

"Ha ha ha you're a boyfriend there!". I messed up both of their hair. "Okay. Bye! I'm going to the Gym."

I went downstairs so that our school service could leave. Well let's go. Wait, what kind of cheer should I do? If the other girl is yelling 'go baby go baby shoot that ball' what about mine? Think about Seven, I know! So you just want a cheerleader, okay Seven is coming!

I found two Big Plastic Bottles in the trash. I took it and went straight to the women's C.R. There was hand sanitizer there so I cleaned it and dried it. Then I washed my hands. Ha ha let's see who will cheer louder! I immediately came out of with two Plastic Bottles.

"MARCO IS RUBIOZ oh. We don't have a partner. I told you that his appearance wouldn't work with Seven either. You didn't. Is it still him?"

I punched it weakly. "You're crazy Henry."

We're not that close to Rubioz because he doesn't like to go along with our gimmicks and he's not a womanizer or maybe he's just a little girl. The Referee blew his whistle so we took our place in the middle. Rubioz and I are fighting, I don't know if I suddenly got bored with him a lot.

Me and Rubioz will get the ball from Jambol. Just as the ref was about to throw the ball when it was stopped by the noise of the cheering, we all looked at who it was and Seven was so surprised! He screams Rubioz's name! And he even has a noise suppressor with him.

"Go Rubioz pass your opponent when you defeat that I will free you with ice cream!" Seven shouted.

We all laughed. Rubioz briefly said goodbye to the Referee then he approached Seven. My blood is boiling.

"Oi Marco The one you're bullying just to get noticed, looks like someone else has noticed." Jack yelled at me.

"Shut up!" I just watched them while Rubioz helped Seven get off the bench. Then he sat on the bench where his things were placed. Then he came back.

"Ref is okay." it's a sign.

'Okay, face it, I'll pass you by!' I whispered in my mind.

We started with the ball. The girls we were carrying were also noisy, but Seven was noisier, even though she was dancing alone, we were still laughing.

The practice game is over. We won and Rubioz lost. I should be happy but why am I frowning?

"Dad. Let him go. Maybe he's really your Seven's type. There are a lot of bebots out there, don't complain." Jason grabbed my attention.

"I want Seven. If you want a bebot, go for it." I went to the shower room to clean my body and change my clothes. I caught up with Rubioz there. I didn't move him. We just look the same. He finished dressing first so I got dressed too. When I came out I was stunned because he was with Seven who was already walking and they both looked very happy.

I clenched my fist.

Someone walked with me. "Dude, you're cool. Do you want us to follow?"

I nodded.

They are in the parking lot. The thickness of his face to take Seven on his motorcycle.

"You can just forget about that Seven, man. It seems like she's hard to get. You've been paying attention to her for the last year, right? You don't even like her. Let's go home."

I like Seven. She will also be my girlfriend. A little more attention and he will like me too.

Chapter 2

"Thank you for taking me home....maybe you want to go in first?" I offer to Rubioz.

"Oh. Don't stop. It's embarrassing. Let's go back to school tomorrow."

"Huh? Wait, you guys have a practice game again? Well, Rubioz, I might get tonsillitis, I'll cheer you on." I laughed.

He laughed. "We don't have a game tomorrow. Thank you for coming to cheer me on even if I lose..."

"That's okay. Just come back next time."

"O Alright. Bye." Rubioz said goodbye. Daddy and I both have a motorcycle. I just smiled. When I faced the gate I was surprised. Because Daddy was standing and grinning.

"Mommy, there's a girl who cut off what my Daddy was going to say when I grabbed her to cover her mouth.

Dad just laughed. Even when my Daddy is really mean to me! He is the opposite of my Papa who is very serious in life but kind. But Mommy loves Daddy.

"Shame on the neighbors Daddy!" I whispered.

Dad removed my hand. Then he laughed. "Why should I be shy? I'm a proud Daddy and I'm sure your Papa will be happy too!"

"Papa? Oh Dad, don't tell him that----"

Daddy grinned. "Oooopppss my bad. Pogi was still here a while ago and I called Seb and you know he's very happy! So even if you step on him again he says it's okay. Oh right...your Papa voted and I'm your Daddy. Mommy is the only one who doesn't have a vote yet!"

I strained my eyes at Dad. His skin is really good. Then I quickly walked into the house.

I kissed Mommy when I saw her in the kitchen cooking.

"I'm just getting dressed. Then I'll help you there."

"Okay. By the way. That's handsome!"

I was stunned. "Mommy? Even you?"

Mommy looked at me. "You know, my son, I was 17 when I had a crush on your Daddy. So I think there's nothing wrong if you have a crush too and he even brought you home! I'm thrilled, I keep remembering the old days"

"Mommy! Stop! I don't have a crush on him and I don't have a crush and I'm not a tomboy okay! I just don't want to. I mean nothing's special so no need to be so much happy about a simple things like lovelife. Please I'm sick of it." I turned my back and went up to my room.

Early in the morning, Winter knocked on the door of my room. "Sister! Wake up, your pick-up is already there! Daddy said to wake you up."

I got up. Then stretch. It's still morning. "Is our school service here right away?"

Winter just grinned. "It's not there yet, but the one you picked up is already there!"

"What the hell, Winter? Am I going to die? Why don't I know?" I scratched my short hair so I was mistaken for a homosexual.

He walked to the door. "It's Kuya Pogi. He's in the living room talking to Daddy. You're dead."

Then he left my room. Brother Pogi? I suddenly stood up when I thought of Rubioz! Oh why is he here at our house?

I made my bed first before going to the bathroom to wash and brush my teeth. Then I left the room.

I caught Daddy and Rubioz laughing. Looked. Rubioz is mine so Dad turned to me.

"Oh. My sleeping beauty is awake.". Dad and I went to the kitchen to help Mommy prepare Breakfast.

Rubioz stood up from where he was sitting. "Sorry I came early. I kept bothering you." he reached for a piece of paper. "For you."

I took that. "Wow! You did this?"

"Yes. Did you like it?"

"Yes, it's beautiful, how did you do it? And wait, let's have breakfast first."

"I had breakfast before leaving the House. I'll just be here. I'll wait for you."

I approached him and took his hand then I pulled him to the Dining area. Mommy and Daddy were there as well as the twins. Rubioz and I sat next to each other. I also forced him to eat breakfast again.

After eating, I went straight to my room to take a shower and get dressed. It only took me a few minutes and I went down.

I said goodbye to Mommy and Daddy as well as the Twins. Our school service road is still later.

"Or put it on Seven. So we don't get caught." I took it and put it on then I got on the back of his motorcycle. I have cycling shorts, so it's okay not to be worn out.

We Stopped at the school Motorcycle parking lot There are students too, but I think only college students are there.

Rubioz took my helmet and carried it then we both walked.

"Rubioz!" We looked at the person who called him.

I lost my smile. His teammates are bullies. What do they need? They were sitting on the bench in the parking lot because it was still early. Rubioz approached them so I followed him in case he needed back up. He stopped so I stopped behind him. I saw Marco staring at me so I gave him a hard time.

"It's your morning today bro. Then why are you with that Senior High, right? They go to school later?". curious when Lage called him Henry.

"Ah yes. I passed by Seven at their house. That's why we're both early. Why do you guys need anything?"

"Ah. Yes, the entire Basketball Team is having a good time swimming tomorrow. You can take that Senior High if he knows how to swim.". and they laughed as well as Marco.

I held Rubioz's arm. "Excuse me Colleges, I know how to swim. Maybe those girls with you will drown tomorrow. Why are you laughing when you are beautiful, you just put on thick makeup. Come on, Rubioz, you might get infected by them. We will be there at Our classroom!" I pulled him.

"Okay. Alright guys." It's your time. I have an ally!

Marco caught my eye. He pushed Eva, the cheerleader of the squad, when she was about to hug him while looking at me. It's Marco's problem. Hmm!

There was no one in our classroom yet but it was open so Rubioz and I went in to sit there. I took out the paper bird he made again.

"What's it called Rubioz?"

"Origami. Do you want me to teach you?"

Next, I nodded. "Yes! It's beautiful."

"Okay. We need paper." He took a piece of paper from his bag. He began to explain how it was done. It's a bit complicated because there are many folds. Then take time.

"Wow! It's beautiful! Can it be mine too?!"

"Sure! You want me to do more of that?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Ummm, is it okay with you that I'll take you swimming with us tomorrow?" while he was folding.

"Of course I'll just say goodbye to Mommy and then to my Daddy and Papa."

He stopped folding and looked at me. I knew he was wondering but he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded. Then folded again.

"What should I wear to swimming tomorrow?". I will ask.

"Where you feel comfortable. That's what you wear. Then it's not strict at that Resort."

"Okay. It's good. I should have been wearing a bikini."

Rubioz just looked at me then smiled. It's funny that I have a friend ahead of me. At least they don't bully me that much anymore, maybe they're afraid of Rubioz.

"Where are you going Marco?" Eva called me. I didn't answer I just walked.

I passed the Senior High Department. I stopped. I thought about whether I should just peek at Seven. I shook my head, after all, there's nothing wrong with just peeking at them.

I was quite close when I heard them laughing. I felt pissed off again. Alright, I'm jealous.

"Rubioz." I disturbed them and they looked at me at the same time. "Maybe you want to go to your classroom. You're late, man."

He looked at his wrist watch. Then hastily stood up. "Sorry. I'll be back later Seven."

"Okay. Alright, bye. Thank you for the origami." then he looked at me but he didn't pay attention to me at all. What does Rubioz have that I don't have? What is his curly hair?

"Oh, what are you looking at? I'm not in the mood to tease you Marco." he turned his back on me.

"Do not know!" I just said I left. Why am I wasting my time with that tomboy? It's not beauty!

"Hey. What are you searching for there Marco?"

"It's okay Jack. Just mind your own business mate". because I'm busy watching a tutorial video on how to make Origami. Seven was so happy earlier when Rubioz gave him something like this. I'll make sure I can do better!

I stopped watching when our Prof entered. We have a surprise quiz today. Fortunately, I was able to study last night.

I was the first to finish so our Prof allowed me to go to my second subject. I passed Seven's Department again. I want to take a peek at him first... but I'm sure they're in the same class... there's nothing wrong with that.

"I'll just pass by.". I whispered to myself then I walked just right and I simply looked at Seven. He's laughing...wow my drama is slow motion effect... He's beautiful no matter which angle I look at him. I stared at him as if I bumped into someone. Everything he brought was spilled so he made noise in the Hallway, I was very embarrassed.

I apologized to the person I bumped into. I really didn't mean it, it didn't make me angry. When I turned back to Seven's behavior, he was looking at me while he was stroking me!

I'm pissed off again. Bag trip! Then I purposely dropped the cleaning materials I was holding from Kuya Janitor and walked away from there.

Why does he always bother me! I'm not bullying him anymore!? Shit! I got to our next classroom. But I didn't feel like listening to our subject anymore so I went out again and then I went to our hangout in the School field. I sat on the bench shaded by a tree and watched the Origami tutorial again.

What I will do is better than Rubioz's work. I have a lot of tears in my notebook but I can't really get it! I don't know! Why am I wasting that girl's time! It's not beauty. But I'm jealous!

I stand. There is no one. So...

"I'll be your girl friend too, Seven, I shouted. Then I took my bag.

I'm just going to go to the court... I'm just going to play this game I pissed off Rubioz! He's good at grabbing what's being shaped! There are so many women, why is it Seven? Then tomorrow he will take him swimming!

Hey, I'm just getting more and more pissed off!

Time to go home. That's how Seven rode that guy's motorcycle again! And he has a helmet!

"Are they already?" asked Mike.

I didn't answer. I don't know what to do. I just walked to my bike. All of us on the Basketball Team were required by our Coach to use a bike instead of a Car or Motorcycle so that we could exercise. Coach is right. We maintain our body without gaining weight.

When I got home I went straight to my room. It's still early. I took my cellphone again and then I watched the Origami tutorial video again.

An hour before I was able to fold a bird and I was really happy! I did it again. Tomorrow I will give it to Seven. I'm sure my works are better than Rubioz!

I was comforted by Mommy's knocking on the door of my room. "We're going to eat Marco. Come downstairs. Your Big Brother and Daddy are already here."

"Okay. I'll be next.". I put away my clutter one by one. Then I left my room.

I found them already sitting at the table. Dad watched me. Then shake your head. He seems disappointed with me. Brother is always the only one who is good for him. Mommy is my only ally.

"Your Prof said that you have been cutting classes. What is your drama now Marco? The older you get, the more headaches you get!". Dad's voice rose a little. I glanced at Mommy. He just shook his head for me not to answer.

I sat down and was about to start eating when Daddy spoke again. "You're a failure Marco." Then it stood up.

Brother patted me. "Don't pay attention to Daddy. Just eat. Right Mommy."

Mommy just nodded. I don't even know how I became a failure. All my grades are high. I get an Award for playing Basketball... Why is he like that to me?

"Mommy. Am I Daddy's daughter or did you just adopt me?" I couldn't stop it anymore.

"What are you doing Son. Your Daddy is just tired okay." Mommy answered calmly.

"I'm your brother, okay. Eat now. Just remember Lage that Brother loves you. Okay!" he kissed my forehead.

I feel that Daddy loves me, why is he treating me like that...

"Brother. Tomorrow we have swimming with the whole team."

"Is that so? Okay.". he took his wallet and gave me all its contents. "Enjoy yourself tomorrow if that credit card is missing. Use it."

"Oh brother, don't stop. You gave me too much."

Brother hugged me. "Because I love you Marco. When you have a problem you can talk to me okay."

I nodded. I hold back my tears.

"Thank you very much, Brother."

Chapter 3

"Dad! Why are you like that with Marco! This is not what we talked about before."

"Mark! Don't make me suck at the Voice, remember that! You're just my son!" Dad shouted.

"I know that, Dad! But I hope you don't make Marco hot! I'm also hurting! I gave up being my Dad because that's what you want! But Dad, you're going too far! I followed you to marry Celina! I left Agnes because that's what you want! Now if you can't be kind to my Son, I'd better just take him from you!"

"Don't do that!" Dad shouted at me.

"I'm not a child anymore. I have my own decision. If you don't accept my Son...this time I'll stand up for him! I won't trade him in the company anymore! I don't care if it falls apart or not Dad! " then I left the study room.

I went to Marco's room. He is asleep. I went in and lightly kissed her on the forehead.

"I love you so much Marco..." I whispered to him... forgive me Son... then I gently combed my hands through his hair.

The day will come when we will be together. I don't know where your mom is. I kissed him on the forehead again before I finally left.

The bus is almost full. Some of my teammates are girls. The School's Cheering Dancers also joined. Seven and Rubioz aren't here yet, do I think they will come?

"Daddy, I don't want to wear that. It's embarrassing!" I was specific about the Red bikini that my Dad bought it, hey, they are annoying even Mommy, they want me to wear it.

"Alright My Sweet Seven..." Daddy still has beautiful eyes. "Then I want a picture of you wearing that!"

I looked at Mommy. "Well Seven, I'm approved by what your Daddy and Papa want. Then my Son is beautiful! He's an inheritance from me, isn't he, Peter."

Daddy grinned then hugged Mommy. "You want us to follow the twins. Mommy?"

"Daddy, you're actually flirting in front of me. Mommy, you're disgusting!!!!". I mumble.

They both just laugh. "Okay! So Mommy, let's go to the room and we'll talk quickly." Daddy pulled at the same time.

I just shook my head. Consumption of Daddy and Papa! O Alright, I'll wear it but I won't show it! Why is there a resort where you can wear shorts and tshirts?

I also went down the stairs after getting dressed in knee length shorts and a t-shirt with a Hawaiian design. Oh, and Rubioz and I wear the same clothes. His Hawaiian shirt is blue while mine is pink! We were both wearing shorts and shorts. We both just laughed.

We were leaving when Winter asked.

"Sister. Where is Mommy?"

I suddenly had a silly thought.

"Oh, where is their room? When you knock, kick the door so that Daddy will open it for you!". my smile is still beautiful.

"Okay sister! Let's go Hunter! Let's kick in their door Daddy." then it both ran high.

"Oh. Come on Rubioz quickly!!!!". We were also running, I pulled him to his motorcycle when I heard Daddy yelling for me.

"Start now, Rubioz, maybe Daddy will make me bald! Come on!" I screamed. We laughed because Daddy couldn't catch up anymore. I just waved at him. It's not really Anger, it's just really naughty like when I was a child. And sometimes too much to cry too.

"Hey, the one we've been waiting for is here and it looks like they're wearing the same clothes!" Mike said.

"Hey! Look, they're wearing couples shirts, aren't they?" Jack added.

We were silent when they got inside the bus. They sat in two, only Rubioz actually brought Seven's bag. I can't take my eyes off Seven... Lalo used to be strange because he was wearing short shorts and not a fitted t-shirt.

"Okay! Looks like everyone is here. So let's leave.". Coach informing.

I just leaned back in my seat. I'm alone in my place. Eva sat earlier because I sent her away. I don't want anyone next to me, just my bag. There were only four seats between us. I could see you when Seven leaned on Rubioz's shoulder. Shit!

I suddenly remembered the Origami I made. I will give it to him. I stood up and took something from my bag pocket. Ten pieces of Origami and different colors. I held on to balance as our bus started.

"Rubioz, excuse me for a moment.". they looked at me together.

I presented the Origami I was holding. The design I made was different. "For you. Seven."

My teammates are shouting. Seven stared at the Origami I was holding for a long time.

"I don't remember making you do anything like that." he raised an eyebrow.

Everyone was silent. Nobody seems to want to talk. I remained standing. Seven and I stared at each other. Rubioz took my Origami works and gave them to Seven. I didn't wait for him to thank you because it was like a pain. Origami hasn't folded anything but her but she didn't even pay attention to me. Everyone just looked at me. Maybe they feel sorry for me.

I can't blame Seven because I've been tripping over him for almost a year.... I just want him to pay attention to me. That's all. I don't want to embarrass him because I can't control myself when we're having fun with him.

I sat quietly in my seat. Only the sound of the Bus Radio rang out.

"Thanks to Origami.". I heard Seven say that. My face cleared up. My teammates and Coach laughed silently.

I smiled too. I can not help it. Here it is Marco. You must show that you are kind. To make him like you too.

we arrived at the resort in Batangas. It's a swimming pool, so it's not dangerous compared to the sea. We went down one by one. The part of the pool we were going to swim in was reserved so we were the only ones there. There are two large swimming pools and there are cottages around the pool. Seven and Rubioz stand out.

My friends have already changed into bathing suits. I saw that Rubioz took off his t-shirt, but he has abs to be proud of... why do I have that too? They even approached the pool together to swim.

"Wait! Seven gurl we are at the pool not at the playground okay and there is a notice on it look it said : strictly wear your proper swimming outfits by management. So it means you can't swim.". They will tease Seven. I'm about to speak when Seven takes off her shorts and t-shirt one by one.

It was the first time I saw her in a bikini and WOW we were all speechless. She is not white but she is smooth and fits her Red bikini. I just swallowed saliva. Seven's waist is small and her chest is a blessing from heaven! Our cheer dancers said nothing to her hips.

"Oh now can I swim with you Eva?". He got angry at her. Eva didn't move anymore.

Laughing, Rubioz picked him up and jumped into the water. And they floated at the same time, they were both happy! I feel jealous again...

I also took off my t-shirt then I swam. I signaled my teammates not to stare at Seven because he is mine! But I can't blame them. She looks like a Bikini Model! Shit! Can Rubioz do them?

"The two of them are so sweet! Are they girls?"

Even when women are really gossipy! I just soaked in the water as I watched them both happily swimming. Seven knows how to swim, he is still floating. They are the same as Rubioz.

"It will melt if you stare too much Marco." Coach looked up at me.

"You're so obvious. We all feel that you really like Seven."

"Coach?" I can't say anything because I'm busy.

"I just advise you, Marco, confess before it's too late. At least you know what he thinks of you, and you're also kind...the problem is because you're always teasing him. Look, he's avoiding you."

"Is that so Coach?". I ask here.

"Yes Marco. That's exactly how it is. Aren't you flirting yet?"

I shook my head. I haven't really dated anyone yet. If only it were Seven. He was the only one who got my attention.

Coach laughed. "With that handsome of you, there is no flirting. Oh Marco, act now before everyone gets caught."

Then Coach left. I just stared at Seven. Just as he turned around, he caught me staring at him. I didn't look back, the color of his cheeks suddenly changed. It means that somehow he also likes me.

We Helped the Basketball Team with our food for outings, so there was a lot of food. I saw Seven walking a little bit wearing only her bikini and Rubioz was not there. I approached him.

"Here or wear it first." I hope he accepts that t-shirt so I won't be embarrassed.

He stared at me first then he took my t-shirt and then put it on. I secretly cheered! The fun! When you answered my drama.

"Thanks for the t-shirt.". he barely adjusted the hem of it. It reached up to his knees. It wasn't because he was tall which made his ex even stronger. Maybe he's just hiding the real him by acting like a man. Like earlier when we all stared when I thought she had scars, but it turned out that her sexiness and smoothness were the opposite.

"Let's eat first. Where is Rubioz?". I will ask.

"Ah. Someone called her cellphone---"

"So he left you right away just because someone called him? Wow. Let's go get something to eat."

Seven just nodded.

I know he's just too shy to get food... so I scooped up Baked macaroni myself and I also got Barbeque and he said his favorite Lumpiang Shanghai. I also got a bottle of cold Coke and gave it to him.

"How much did you take Marco?". it said laughing.

"It's like you're gaining weight. It's like you haven't eaten at your small waist. Are you starving yourself?" He shook his head.

"I just inherited from Mommy." then he ate and ate.

"Oi. There you are." Rubioz.

"Yes. Dude. You left it so I'm taking care of it first." my answer. Then I turned back when he sat next to Seven.

'Why are there apples on Earth?'. I just whispered to myself then I took my own food and sat down at the empty table. It's great how much fun they have!

"Okay guys! Come all of you. Form a circle to look better and neater. Okay."

We all approached Coach and sat one by one on the tiled floor of the venue hall. As usual, Seven and Rubioz are side by side. And it's true that they are still cute when they smile.

"Okay guys, it's okay because I have a guitar here. I just thought that you're not kids anymore so I won't play games anymore... so it's okay for you to play the guitar to have more fun, right. You know you have hidden talents. "

We laughed at the hidden talent because none of us seem to know how to play the guitar.

"So... Anyone who wants to play? You are free to play a guitar." Coach asked.

We all looked at each other. All I know is that none of us really know how to play the guitar, it's just a waste of our time.

"I'm a coach!"

We all looked at Seven.

"You know how to play that Ven?" wow, he already has a nickname for my Seven. I'm really going to eat it.

"Yup. Daddy taught me." then he came to Coach's place. He sat down to play comfortably. I would have covered his legs with the towel I was holding in case I was ahead of him when I liked to be extra!

"Thank you Rubio." Our companions tried hard to snort, which really pissed me off.

"Just play if you're going to play. There's still PDA in there and you're going to vomit." I'm pissed at them.

Rubioz just laughed then went back to sitting. While Seven just tortured me.... Okay minus pogi points because you're crazy Marco!

"My daddy said this song is so timely that it hurts, so I hope you enjoy it." then he started playing the guitar.

Happy days with you...

It was just the first line and we were already laughing!

Your caressing and caressing that never gets boring....

The acting partnership is full of happiness...

As if nothing will ruin everything...

Seven's beautiful voice silenced us all.

Why has this time come yet....

I heard you disappeared...

Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me...

I will not be left alone...

Didn't you say we'll grow old together...

Why are you there all of a sudden....

In the next life...

How is everyone how am I...we...

Didn't you tell me that we would dream together....

Saw you suddenly leave without even saying goodbye....

A cold wind embraces me....

It's like a hint that you're about to say goodbye.....

Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me...

I will not be left alone...

Didn't you say we'll grow old together...

Why are you there all of a sudden...

In the next life.....

We all applauded. I clapped louder. Wow, he's so good, I fell in love with him even more. The strength of what he used to be.

"Wow you're great Seven. Who taught you?". Coach asked.

"It's my Daddy."

"Wow, isn't your Daddy a lawyer?"

Seven nodded. "Yes. But before he became a lawyer, he used to be a member of a boy group."

We were all surprised. We just found out about it now.

"Really? Wow! What group?" asked Coach excitedly.

Seven smiled sweetly. "The controversial boy group!"

"Wait! Oh my god don't tell me na--- 3rips!?" Coach screamed.

Seven nodded. "Yup! Daddy Peter Daez is said to be the most playboy but afraid of Mommy."

"Wow! Really!? I'm a fan! I'm complete with their Album. Wait don't tell me that you're the boy he hugged during their last Concert together?"

"I'm only 4 years old. Did you watch it?"

"Yes! Oh Seven maybe we can guess them in one of our School Programs."

"Oh...Coach, they are quite busy right now. Father Zach is busy taking care of their business, and so is Father Arth. Also, their children are studying here."

"Really!? Can't wait to meet them."

Seven laughed. "Don't you notice that they look like their daddies? Is my song okay? The others are okay."

We were amazed. He is the son of the famous 3rips, even though Dad and Mom are fans of him. Then their children are also studying here. Wow really.

I just followed him with my eyes as he sat next to Rubioz with an ear-to-ear smile.
